About this recipe:
This could be the ideal lunchtime dish, a lunch box treat or a colourful vegan addition to a buffet party menu. Buckwheat, quinoa, rice and maize are blended together to make Multigrain Penne for this salad which can be made from scratch or using left over pasta.
Equipment:
2 x mixing bowls, large 2lt saucepan and colander
Ingredients:
75g baby spinach leaves
75g feta (or plant cheese or firm tofu)
½ pink grapefruit
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp cider vinegar
1 tsp sumac
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
250g FREEE Organic Multigrain Penne
salt
Method:
- Wash, drain and chop the spinach, cut the feta or tofu into 1cm/⅜” cubes.
- Remove the peel and pith from the grapefruit and chop into small segments.
- Measure the oil, maple syrup, vinegar, sumac, salt and pepper into a bowl and stir to make a sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning if required.
- Three-quarter fill a large 2lt saucepan with water, add a little salt and bring it to a rapid, rolling boil.
- Add the pasta, stir to avoid it sticking and boil uncovered for 7 minutes.
- Prepare a bowl of cold water next to the sink.
- Carefully remove a piece of pasta and cut it with the side of a fork. If the pasta resists, continue the boiling and repeat the fork test every minute until it is ‘al dente’ and just cuts through the pasta.
- Drain the pasta into a colander over the sink.
- Tip the pasta into the bowl of cold water, stand for 3 minutes then drain the pasta again in the colander.
- Put the drained pasta into a mixing bowl.
- Stir the sauce, add half to the pasta and stir to combine.
- Add the prepared spinach, feta, grapefruit and remaining sauce and stir everything together.
- Cover and chill until ready to serve.
